INT: MODEL WHOREHOUSE -- NIGHT<br />
Old-fashioned, turn-of-the-century, parody of Storyville. BEETLE<br />
JUICE is surrounded with horned lovelies, drinking champagne,<br />
carousing. The song "Honky Tonk Angel" is playing on a piano.<br />
INT: ATTIC -- NIGHT<br />
BARBARA and ADAM, in high dudgeon, are staring down at the model.<br />
The whorehouse is garishly lighted -- and we hear the music only<br />
faintly.<br />
ADAM<br />
I did not build a<br />
cathouse for Winter River.<br />
He reaches down and lifts off the roof of the cathouse.<br />
INT: MODEL WHOREHOUSE -- NIGHT<br />
The roof comes off. The horned lovelies scatter with little<br />
squeals of fright.<br />
BEETLE JUICE<br />
You went to a party.<br />
Thought I'd have a little<br />
party of my own. How'd it<br />
go, guys?<br />
BARBARA<br />
It went great. Now it looks<br />
like we're going to spend the<br />
next hundred and thirty-two<br />
years doing parlor tricks.<br />
ADAM<br />
It didn't scare them a bit.<br />
They applauded. Are you going<br />
to be able to give us some<br />
real help?<br />
BEETLE JUICE<br />
Yeah. Sure. So you're asking<br />
me to really help you?<br />
BARBARA & ADAM<br />
Yes, we are.<br />
BEETLE JUICE<br />
Then I'll put my thinking cap<br />
on. And you two guys don't<br />
have to worry about anything<br />
anymore.<br />
ADAM replaces the roof, and it shakes the whole house.<br />
BEETLE JUICE sits alone in the whorehouse parlor, sipping<br />
champagne. He has a wry smile on his face. Everything is going<br />
according to plan.<br />

INT: WINTER RIVER HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA -- NOON<br />
We open on a large banner reading: WELCOME BACK WINTER RIVER<br />
BADGERS<br />
We pan off the banner to three hundred stunned-looking Badgers,<br />
the freshest-faced crop of wholesome American teens ever<br />
assembled in one cafeteria.<br />
They all stare dumbfounded at...<br />
LYDIA DEETZ<br />
sitting all alone in full DEATH ROCKER regalia. She wears a T-<br />
shirt emblazoned with a holographic image of the CHEST-BURSTER<br />
from ALIEN; a skirt that appears to be made of barbed wire;
